Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the clinicopathological features of oral sebaceous hyperplasia and sebaceous adenoma.
Study Design: Clinical data, microscopical characteristics, and ki-67 immunoexpression were comparatively analyzed on 2 intraoral sebaceous adenomas, 6 intraoral sebaceous hyperplasias, and 21 normal intraoral sebaceous glands.
Results: Clinically, sebaceous glands presented as multiple separated papules, sebaceous hyperplasias as a single enlarged papule, and sebaceous adenoma as a well-defined nodule. Microscopically, sebaceous adenoma presented an increased number of lobules, smaller lobules, and a greater number of germinative/squamous cells. Sebaceous hyperplasia also had an increased number of lobules and fewer number of germinative/squamous cells, as compared to normal oral sebaceous glands. Ki-67 expression was seen only in germinative cells and counts were higher in sebaceous adenomas followed by hyperplasias and normal glands.
Conclusions: Sebaceous hyperplasias and adenomas showed different clinical, microscopic, and proliferative characteristics, suggesting the usefulness of the studied criteria on diagnosis of these uncommon oral lesions.

Article Synopsis
- Sebaceous carcinoma (SC) is a rare and aggressive skin cancer that develops in the sebaceous glands, with few documented cases occurring on the lips.
- A 47-year-old male smoker presented with a painless, irregularly shaped mass on his upper lip that was biopsied, revealing malignant basaloid cells with sebaceous differentiation.
- The case highlights the unique characteristics of SC, including its histogenesis and treatment options, while emphasizing the importance of further research due to its rarity.

Introduction: Epidermoid cysts may occur due to anomalies during fetal development, approximately 1-2 % occur in the oral cavity. A cyst lumen filled with fluid or keratin without skin adnexal structures (such as hair, hair follicle, sweat gland, sebaceous gland) can be defined as epidermoid cyst. 7 % of these cysts occur in the head and neck, 1.

A 20-year-old female presents with a painless, progressive, normal color smooth surface sublingual swelling extending to chin that had gradually increased in size over the preceding 2 months, which severely impaired her speech and swallowing. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy was suggestive of benign cystic lesion. Following surgical excision, the mass was found to contain a large amount of sebaceous keratin material removed along with the entire capsule of the cyst.

Intraoral sebaceous carcinoma (SC) is exceedingly rare, especially in the tongue. We reported the clinicopathological and immunohistochemical features of a rare SC case in a 59-year-old male who presented a painful ulcer on the tongue's posterior region. Microscopically, the tumor was composed of atypical basaloid cells with round to oval nuclei and prominent nucleoli arranged in lobes showing prominent sebaceous differentiation and areas of holocrine secretion.
